Caught this very wrong claim that John Wayne Gacy murdered his mother and put her down garbage disposal, I knew it wasn't true as soon as I read it, it's weird that this claim is made, was conflated with another serial killer and no one caught the mistake

Perfect description of sociopath, tho prevalence percentage is prob higher now

Merino is a smoker, I doubt he'd smell anything anyway

Agatha Christie reference

Scarpetta openly referencing and appreciating queer literary icons like Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams
